EDIT: This contest is over and the winner has been announced HERE.
March is a big month for The Craft's Meow as we celebrate its 1st birthday! We have new designers, illustrator, challenges, and of course, stamps! I am excited to work with these talented ladies in the team!
We are kicking off the celebration with a special release called No Greater Love, a small set celebrating Christ's resurrection. I have been swamped with design deadlines and family commitments that I wasn't able to create for this release. However, I have a beautiful card by my talented friend Jessica Fick to show you here on my blog. I love how detailed she gets without making her card look crowded. It takes a special skill, I tell ya. :). Thanks, Jessica, for letting me share this. The TCM blog has a list of participants for this hop.
Here is the No Greater Love set that is available now at the TCM store:
I hope you will check out the monthly sketch challenge going on now. Here's the sketch and my card follows:
I shared this card a while ago, but here it is again for your inspiration.
Now, how about a little contest...I have BIG and exciting news to share next week. Leave a comment to guess what it is. I will pick a winner from the right guessers. If nobody guesses it right, I will pick a random winner from all the commenters. One guess per person, please. But if you share this on FB and/or your blog, you get to leave a second guess. The contest is open until I announce my exciting news sometime next week.

Oh I love this set Nina - totally gorgeous, and the symbolisim is perfect! Love Jessica's card - her details are always so lovely! I am looking forward to when you share your BIG NEWS next week! God bless you my friend - you are one of the mnost inspiring artists!! {{{hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteJessica's card is lovely and the stamp set is amazing. I look forward to our big news- let's see you've had stamps come out before as well as some dies- so big news might be something new- are you having a book of your inspiration come out?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is a book too! Thanks for letting us share in your excitement!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that your big news has to do with Layers of Color stamps, either the reopening of their store or how you are involved with another company and the LOC stamps.
ReplyDeleteawesome set! i'm guessing new dies and/or designing with new company :)
ReplyDeleteI am going to guess your own book.
ReplyDeleteWill you be designing for a paper company?
ReplyDeleteDesigning for a new or very big company. Like Unity? Hero? Or some new one, yours only.
ReplyDeleteDeigning paper for Basic Grey or Graphic 45 :)
ReplyDeleteNina, I just love this new set. . .and your work overall and the way you are using your talents to serve the Lord! My guess is your announcement is related to an announcement that Layers of Color Laura will also be part of and it pertains to a major stamp company taking you both on board. . .but just who is that company?? Blessings and hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful new set Nina! And your card is absolutely gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteI love the set and of coarse the card is beautiful! I'm going to guess that you are starting up your own company, if not you should...
ReplyDeleteanother beautiful set Nina. The cards are definitely gorgeous love the color of yellow so refreshing. Hmm my guess would be published in a mag, new dies design with a wonderful company.
ReplyDeleteWonderful and inspirational set Nina. I'm guessing a new design collaboration?
ReplyDeleteMy guess is some new designs coming!

ReplyDeleteDeniseB
Hi, Denise...ask your friends to like the page as well and mention you in their comments, so I will know who referred them. Thanks.
DeleteHi Nina..I have been following your blog for quite a while and love seeing what you will come up with next! My guess: You have been invited to present at scrapbooking event example like: CHA (Craft & Hobby Assoc) At least I think you should be invited.
ReplyDeleteGreat design, and Jessica did a wonderful job. I am guessing you and Laura are publishing/illustrating a book with your new company which you have affiliated with.
ReplyDeletethis is such a wonderful stamp set!! your card for there is no greater love is stunning!!! :)
ReplyDeleteyour one for the sketch is precious!!
My guess is that you are expecting. :). A more likely event is that you have a new opportunity to design!
ReplyDeleteOhm Nina, that cross set is divine! Exquisite! Love Jessica's card!
ReplyDeleteHUGS!
Hey Nina! I think that you are to be designing for a new company or maybe you will be starting your own. :-) Whatever it is, you will be successful.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are happy to serve the Lord in all you do and it is reflected in your work. It is so uplifting a refreshing to see that in you. I LOVE IT!
Thanks for sharing my card, Nina. I love working with your stamps and can't wait to hear your big news next week!!
ReplyDeleteNina, are you publishing a book? & I love Jessica's card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful new stamp set and Jessica's card is so lovely! Pretty card you designed and hope to play along with TCM sketch. I like Emily's guess...that you are expecting :P. Looking forward to hearing your exciting new my friend!
ReplyDeleteThis card is wonderful. I like the flourishy crown and swirls very much. The colors are great...all in all it is one powerful card. God Bless
ReplyDeleteLove Jessica's card, Nina,and your set truly illustrates the meaning of Easter.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you will be revealing which company you and Laura will now be working with.
Blessings

Beautiful card, and my guess is that you are being picked up by a major stamp co. as a stamp designer with your friend from Layers of color. Now the only thing is that I can't figure out which co. it would be! my best to you, for you are a great artist and deserve to design to your hearts desire!!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll be collaborating with a magazine?
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful new set Nina. I LOVE your new Blog banner. You are an AMAZING designer. I am so happy for you. :)
ReplyDeleteHugs~
Love the new stamp set and Jessica's card is jus gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteLove everything you do! I am guessing you are designing a new stamp line for another company... maybe even paper and embellishments to match? Good luck no matter what it is... you know I will be buying it!
ReplyDeleteJessica's card is gorgeous! Your new Easter set looks stunning!
ReplyDeleteHugs and smiles
Beautiful card once again. I'm hoping it is the new company you mentioned will be carring your stamps sets is ready to go public and there will be tons of your new stamps sets available.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on whatever your exciting news is.
Nina, your designs are always so inspiring and I love that you've showcased how someone else interpreted it here! My guess is that you will be designing your own line of patterned paper!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina! I am guessing you are gona publish an ebook for us!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and stamp set! Don't know what your big news could be--designing for a new company, designing your own paper?
ReplyDeleteGreat cards- both yours and Jessicas'- this set looks divine and I sure would love to win the Candy. Happy Birthday to TCM also. I guess you may be a starting a new venture with your own company and stamp and paper sets
ReplyDeleteSuch a blessing to get emails and announcements from your blog! Are you expecting? Some seem to think so, it is a good guess! Happy day!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina!
ReplyDeleteMy guess is that you will be designing stamps and dies for yet another big company! Thanks for the chance to win!
Am enjoying your blog...And all your cards...Maybe you are coming out with a book??? Good Luck on whatever it is!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your cards.
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if you might be moving?!? It's about the only thing I can think of that hasn't already been guessed!!
My guess is that you will be starting your own stamp and die company rather than just designing for other companies--brick & mortar and/or on-line??? Whatever it is, Congrats and good luck!!! ~Hugs!
ReplyDeleteAre you moving back to the U.S.?
